Regarding Intimacy/ICP Summer

So I just got the receipt for the my ICP(International Center of Photography) class yesterday evening in the mail along with a cool yellow ICP student ID card which I believe gives me access the Digital/Media Lab, the library (I could be in there for hours!!) and the darkrooms. I wonder if I also get a discount at the ICP Museum gift shop?

It also came with a letter of course description from the instructor, Saul Robbins. I am so excited!!! It sounds sooo good, just exactly what I want. I wish I could post the entire letter but since there is no online version I will type a small excerpt below.

This course will introduce a wide range of approaches to investigating our most intimate relationships. Whether looking at explicit physical intimacy or more implied psychological dynamics, the investigation of relationships between others and to the self has been increasingly important and influential theme in contemporary photography. Discussions, short readings, shooting assignments, critiques, and writing exercises will direct our attention towards private and societal notions of intimacy, allowing you to begin or expand upon a new body of work in either film or digital formats.


The rest of the letter is a description of some really amazing sounding assignments which include bringing in 1-2 things that reflect your own notion of intimacy.
*SIGH*

How many people will bring in pictures of porn?
